Millau Viaduct:
the tallest bridge in the world!

The Millau viaduct is a road bridge that crosses the valley of the River
Tarn in Southern France. At its tallest point it is 343m tall, which makes it
19m taller than the Eiffel Tower and 37m shorter than the Empire State
Building. Interestingly, the Millau viaduct was built more than one hundred
years later than the Eiffel Tower, however they were both built by the same

company, the Eiffage Group.

Work began in October 2001 and the bridge was officially opened by the
French President, Jacques Chirac, on 14th December 2004. Two days later,
it was opened for traffic. The bridge is just under two and a half kilometres

long and every day between 10,000 and 25,000 cars cross the bridge.

The architects who were working on the bridge didn’t want drivers to feel
scared at such a height. So, they designed the bridge in such a way that
when driving, it’s difficult to look down.

1. Which is taller, the Millau viaduct or the Empire State Building?



2. What did the Eiffage Group build?



3. When were cars allowed to use the Millau viaduct?



4. What is the length of the bridge?

Dobry’s family have been taking really good care of me. His mum is a fantastic cook and she has made
some delicious dinners. Believe it or not, I’ve been helping her in the kitchen and I’ve learnt how to make
some traditional Polish food. I’ll make you some when I get home, OK?

A few weeks ago I was walking by the river with my friend, Jack, when suddenly the wind started blowing really
hard and black clouds gathered in the sky. Minutes later a storm broke out. We came across an old building and
decided to go inside for protection. We were looking around when, all of a sudden, we fell down into the basement.
We couldn’t believe it! The floor had collapsed. I wasn’t hurt badly but Jack’s leg was really hurting him. Worst of all,
there was no way we could move around with all the rubble. We shouted for help, but there was no answer. We were
terrified. After a few hours, it was raining even harder and, before long, water was coming down into the basement.
I then realised that the river had flooded! I panicked. I was exhausted but I continued shouting until finally I heard
a voice. Then I fainted. The next thing I knew, a rescue team was pulling me out of the rubble. We were very lucky
because as soon as we got out of there, the whole building collapsed.

It’s to do with my sister Ellen. Last week I took her camera without asking and I lost it. I haven’t told her

never let me borrow any of her things again. Unfortunately, there’s more. Next weekend, there’s a great
party and I don’t want to miss it. The problem is I haven’t got anything cool to wear. So, I was thinking
of borrowing something from Ellen. But if she finds out about the camera, I can forget it. What do you
suggest I do? If I had the money, I would buy her a new camera, but I don’t. What would you do if you
were me?

Hello Rory,

I haven’t heard from you for ages. What have you been up to? I have some news... I just finished my
skysurfing course! I know, it’s crazy, right? Well, Dylan informed me about this course, and it sounded
really interesting. He said that it was the most enjoyable activity he had ever tried, and I totally agree.

The course was only for three weeks. Not very long, right? The fee isn’t a lot either. I paid only €155.
What’s more, you don’t have to bring anything with you; they have the equipment and everything you
need there. The best part is that you don’t need any experience. That worked well for me because I had
never been on a plane before in my life! The instructors were very good and really experienced. They
made me feel safe from the start. At the end of the course, you get a DVD of yourself skysurfing!

Anyway, if you want to attend the course too, let me know. If you sign up, I know you’ll have a great time!

Yours,
Victor

Imagine that you live in Paris, France, and an e-pal of yours is planning to visit you. Read the part of the e-mail he has sent you.

Since I’ve never been to Paris before, I don’t know what the weather is usually like in July. What kind of
clothes should I bring with me? I know there are lots of places of great interest to visit. I’ve also heard that
French food is delicious!

I look forward to hearing from you.

Best wishes,
Brad
